Patent CA-2329520-A1 (CA)
Inventor: VOURLIS HARRY
IPC: H01M50/50
Filed: 1999-04-23
Abstract: An electrochemical cell is disclosed that includes a cell housing and a spir al- wound electrode assembly including wound alternating layers of a positive electrode, a separator, and a negative electrode. The electrochemical cell further includes a destruction control mechanism provided proximate an interior surface of the cell housing for piercing a portion of the separator  layer to create an internal short circuit between outermost layers of the positive and negative electrodes of the spiral-wound electrode assembly when  an excessive force is applied to the destruction control mechanism. The destruction control mechanism includes burrs formed on either or both of the  electrodes that protrude towards the electrode of opposite polarity so as to  penetrate through the adjacent separator layer to create an internal short circuit when excessive force is applied to the burrs. Preferably, the burrs are created by stitching a conductive tab to an exposed portion of the conductive foil strip forming a portion of the negative electrode. To furthe r increase the likelihood that the first internal short circuit will occur whe n the burrs penetrate the separator, the portion of the positive electrode underlying the burrs may be formed of exposed conductive foil to provide an inert region for the short circuit to occur.

Inventor: COLLINS MICHAEL J
IPC: G01N1/44
Filed: 1999-09-17
Abstract: A method and associated apparatus are disclosed for measuring volatile content of samples that are particularly suitable for samples that tend to burn when heated. The method includes the steps of applying microwave radiation at a predetermined power level to a moisture-containing sample to drive volatiles from the sample, monitoring the weight of the sample during the application of microwave power, monitoring the temperature of the sample during the application of microwave power without contacting either the sample or anything in contact with the sample, and moderating the microwave power being applied to the sample based upon the monitored temperature to maintain the temperature of the sample at or below a pre-determined set point temperature below which the sample will not burn. In its apparatus aspects, the invention includes a cavity for holding a sample for which the volatile content is to be determined; an infrared photosensor positioned to measure the temperature of a sample placed within the cavity, an analytical balance for measuring the weight of the sample while the sample is in the cavity, a power source for introducing microwaves into the cavity, and a processing unit in communication with the infrared photosensor and the power source for controlling the introduction of microwave energy to the cavity in response to the infrared photosensor to prevent the sample from reaching temperatures at which the sample would burn.

IPC: H04N1/38
Filed: 2001-07-26
Abstract: A remission sensor is provided in an inkjet printing apparatus for various measurement tasks, which sensor is constructed for densiometric and colorimetric measurement tasks and has a high local resolution. In a first application, the borders of the picture carrier are detected and the printing of pixels of the digital image located outside the borders prevented. This permits the manufacture of borderless pictures without the wasting of printing ink. In a second application, the sensor is used for the photoelectric scanning or measurement of co-printed print head test patterns. The functional condition of the print head(s) can be determined by analysis of the measurement data obtained with suitable algorithms, and corresponding measures can be initiated. In this way the production of waste can be prevented. In a further application, the sensor is also used for the measurement of co-printed color test patterns. Changes in the color reproduction quality can be recognized in time with measurement technology by analysis of the measurement data obtained and comparison thereof with corresponding reference values, and the changes can be corrected by suitable measures.
